The army returned to the mansion. Along the way, Magistrate Zheng was dragged behind the horse.
This move was not just to vent his anger, but also to tell the people who were persecuted by him that this dog official was controlled by someone!
It was early in the morning, and Magistrate Zheng's heart-rending screams broke the tranquility of the morning.
Gradually, heads appeared in those alleys.
There are old people and children. Without exception, they are all dirty, with thin cheeks and sunken eye sockets, looking like they are severely malnourished.
Probably noticing that they had been discovered, several people retracted their heads as if they were electrocuted.
There was a child who was more courageous. He hid behind a weed and looked at them timidly.
Those clear eyes really make people cute.
Yun Jiutang waved to him, and the child timidly poked his head out, seemingly torn as to whether to step forward.
Seeing this, Yun Jiutang smiled lightly and took out a bag of candies.
This is what she put in the bracelet before. This bracelet has an advantage, it can be used as a storage space.
Although it wasn't big, it saved her a lot of trouble.
Seeing the candy, the child's eyes immediately widened.
That sparkling look in his eyes made people want to touch his little head.
Probably because he had been hungry for a long time, the child swallowed his saliva, immediately overcame his fear, and prepared to walk in the direction of Yun Jiutang.
However, after walking only a few steps, an old man suddenly rushed out from behind, hugged him, and dragged him back with all his strength.
This time the force was too strong, and the child was thrown to the ground by him.
But the old man didn't stop, and even the people dragging him tried to drag him into the alley.
Seeing this, Mu Canglin's men quickly stepped forward to stop him.
At this time, the old man was trembling with fear, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately.
"Master, have mercy on me! Master, please have mercy! Xiaohu is still a child, please let him go!" The old man's head hit the ground with a thud.
Within a moment, blood marks appeared on his forehead.
"Old man, get up quickly!" Yun Jiutang couldn't help frowning and hurried forward to help him up.
Seeing her approaching, the old man shivered in fear, as if she were some venomous snake and beast.
Yun Jiutang was a little embarrassed. Just when he was about to ask someone to pull him up, the child named Xiaohu suddenly pointed at the young man on the guard's back and said, "It's Brother Erlang! Brother Erlang is over there!"
The old man followed his guidance and saw the unconscious Wang Erlang.
"Ah! Second boy! Why are you here?" The old man exclaimed, quickly attracting the attention of other victims.
After a moment, another dozen heads were seen poking out from the corners.
"Really the second boy."
While he was sighing, someone suddenly coughed a few times. In an instant, people around him covered his mouth, looking horrified.
The old man looked at them with a frightened expression, his eyes full of alertness.
Immediately afterwards, the person in the corner hurriedly said: "Sir, I just choked on the saliva! I'm not sick! Please let me go!"
Looking at these faces filled with despair, Yun Jiutang felt a burst of sadness.
The reason why they are so worried about getting sick must be because all the previous patients have never returned.
When she thought of Magistrate Zheng's brutal handling of the matter, she couldn't help but feel angry.
Simply, there is no humanity at all!
It's no wonder that the people are so frightened. They have suffered too much in the past.
Yun Jiutang took a breath and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, everyone, this dog official who cares about human life has been arrested by us! The court's disaster relief funds and relief food have also been brought! Next, everyone's hard life is over Got it!"
Although she looked sincere, no one dared to believe her.
Mu Canglin immediately called for Magistrate Zheng, who had been tortured until his face turned pale.
But when everyone saw him, they couldn't help but tremble in fear.
Knowing that talking is useless, if you want to gain the trust of the people, you still have to do something practical.
Yun Jiutang immediately said: "Tomorrow morning, at the gate of the government office, relief food will begin to be distributed. There will also be doctors to treat everyone! Don't worry, everyone, the one who comes to Longzhou to provide relief now is the King of Zhenbei sent by the emperor himself. , he will definitely uphold justice for you!"
After saying that, she asked people to put down the food in their hands, and then quickly left the place.
After they left, many people ran out of the darkness and robbed the dry food.
When Luo Yu and the others came back to report the matter, they also looked angry.
"Your Majesty! Most of the people are hiding, and some of them are even hiding in the cellar. My subordinates went over to check it out. The cellar is dark and muddy, and it is no place for people to stay!"
Luo Yu said coldly, "And they would rather live here than come out. This shows how much this dog official has gone too far!"
He did not describe some details.
Those cellars were still full of the smell of excrement, which showed that they had lived in them for a long time.
They didn't even dare to go out to relieve themselves. It must be because the environment in the city was so bad before that they felt in danger.
Already lacking food and clothing, and still living in such a harsh environment, how could he not get sick!
"The flooding in Longzhou is serious this time. Coupled with the high temperature in midsummer, rotting corpses cannot be dealt with in time, which can easily lead to epidemics."
Yun Jiutang said in a deep voice, "This dog official said that Beijing has too much time to take care of itself. Doesn't that also mean that someone has brought this disease back to the capital?"
This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the plague has an incubation period.
And if it is also contagious during the incubation period, we don’t know how many people have been infected during this period!
She regretted it now and should have checked with Mu Anli before coming here.
She stayed in Longzhou for so long, maybe she got sick and went back!
After all, this thing doesn't care whether you are a prince or a commoner, it will treat you equally.
"Tangtang, don't worry. There are many imperial doctors in the capital, and everything will be fine." Mu Canglin comforted her.
Seeing that his expression remained as usual, Yun Jiutang wasn't that worried anymore.
After all, Mu Canglin is not the kind of person who casually despises the plague. When he said this, he must have been prepared to deal with it.
Compared to the capital, which has top-notch medical resources, the people in Longzhou need them more.
As soon as it dawned, a porridge shed had been set up in front of the magistrate's door.
These porridges are very thick, and when the ladle is turned, a strong aroma comes out.
Soon, a group of victims heard the news and lined up neatly, waiting to be given porridge.
Yun Jiutang and Mu Canglin happened to see this scene when they went out.
For a moment, she couldn't help but frown.
"Something's wrong!"
